Duri’s Angels & Demons collection is comprised of two parts. Angels is the more subtle, lighter collection and Demons is darker and sexier. I reviewed Angels here, and today I have Demons to show you.
This collection suits my tastes a lot more than Angels did and it definitely feels like winter.
The formula is really nice with all of these. All with the exception of one are two-coaters. Oh and one is a dupe for another recently released color…
Devil Wears Duri
Devil Wears Duri is a deep blue metallic with light blue shimmer. She’s a beauty, I absolutely love this color and it had barely any brush strokes. This was two coats.
Mystic Elements
Mystic Elements is a deep ruby red with tons of red shimmer. THIS says “Duri” to me, it glows and it’s just stunning. This has definitely made it into my top 10 reds now! This was two coats.
Angels & Demons
Angels & Demons is a dark grey with lots of silver shimmer. I don’t think this totally original, but it’s still really pretty and the formula was really buttery smooth. This was two coats.
From Dusk Till Dawn
From Dusk Till Dawn is a sheer purple/red. This was the only one on the collection I didn’t care for at all. I just cannot get behind sheer colors, I want to keep adding layers and forcing them to be opaque! This was three coats.
Fallen Angel
Fallen Angel is a deep royal purple with red shimmer. Whoooo this is amaaaaazing! At first when I saw it I thought it was just a creme and was none too impressed. Then I saw the shimmer and totally changed my tune. I can’t think of another color that is really close to it either. This was two coats.
Kingdom Of Shadows
Kingdom Of Shadows is a dark purple/brown/red duochrome. And yes, it’s a dupe for Orly Galaxy Girl from the Cosmic FX collection. Here is my original swatch. What can I say it’s a gorgeous color, no question, but I already have it! This was two coats.

Bottles side by side in sun
So what do you think, can you tell the difference between the two? I sure can’t with the naked eye!
Overall:
I am in love with this collection! All but one are colors I would wear a lot (even though one is a dupe). I think the must haves are definitely Devil Wears Duri, Mystic Elements and Fallen Angel. If you don’t already have colors like Angels & Demons and Kingdom Of Shadows I would snatch those up also. I would pass on From Dusk Till Dawn unless you are a sheer lover.
I want to hear from you, which of these are must haves for you?

have… to… get… fallen… angel…
*O*
i nearly just scrolled pass it thinking it was yet another one of those not really purple, not really brown colors, then BAM! the red shimmer shone through & yes, adding to lemming list right now~ ^^
Oooh, I love Fallen Angel! I also really like Kingdom of Shadows…which is great for me because I don’t own Galaxy Girl and KOS is a less expensive alternative. Hooray!
Lovely. I want them all!
Fallen Angel is so pretty, but I like most of them! Demons is definitely the better half of the two.
I love the colors! I want them all!
Gorgeous dark colors!!!
But I know that Duri.com doesn’t accept international shipping……
From Dusk to Dawn and Fallen Angel, those two are just spectacular………
Oh wow, Fallen Angel and kingdom of shadows are gorgeous!
Too bad they don’t have any shipping information on their site 🙁

Mystic Elements is my choice out of these – it’s not totally unique and I have a dozen shades like it already, but I know they always look nice and I can usually find some way to justify some tiny minute difference in the end 😀

I love love love Mystic Elements! That’s a seriously awesome colour. Where is Duri sold, do I have any hope of getting hold of it outside the US? 🙂

Fallen Angel is definitely a must have! I think I may have to try Duri after all.
But they changed the bottles. 🙁 I don’t like companies that change bottles! It’s so hard to organize them in the drawers. 😛

Fallen Angel is beautiful. This is the better half of the collection. Guess we all must be the Demon Girls!
I love them all 😉

Holy crap! These are gorgeous!

Hi Phyrra,
Yep!! Oh I am gathering my fav grey’s by the way, will keep you posted 🙂
Something I love about this collection is the names! I hate hate HATE cheesy polish names and these were great! Kingdom of Shadows?! That is so metal!!
Skulda´s last post…WTF SPOONS!
oh…. gorgeous!
Fallen Angel looks like what I thought Butter London’s “Marrow” was going to be.
I want Devil Wears Duri and Mystic Elements! To answer you question, I cannot tell the difference.
Loooooove Fallen Angel and Angels & Demons.
Holy shizz, those are all gorgeous! Except for From Dust Til Dawn; I’m just not a fan of sheer/jelly-ish polishes.
Ohhhhh! Fallen Angel is beautiful!!!

So I guess this means Space Cadet is the only Orly Cosmic FX left without a dupe, correct? How weird all these polishes came out the same season!
Love Devil Wears Duri & Mystic Elements
I love these! Although I feel like we’ve seen a couple others similar to Angels and Demons recently. But still! Lovely.
fallen angel is SUPER pretty! i don’t have any duris, need to remedy that 🙂
okay i’m not going to lie, I LOVE THIS ENTIRE COLLECTION. all of those colors are to die for in my books! ahh. you always get the best things to show us 🙂
Devil wears duri and From dusk till dawn are pretty colours ! 🙂 Thanks for the swatches and review.
Oooh I like these! I’ve never seen this brand either… I love Mystic Elements but not so keen on Angels & Demons, but have to agree I could and would def wear all of these shades! Also *wow* that is a nice ring 🙂
They are so pretty and I would buy just for the names too! Love the names!
Starlight´s last post…Zoya Cheri & Hard Candy Sugar Daddy
I love all of these, even the jelly polish! Thanks for the swatches, VV. 🙂
These are so gorgeous!!! You think if I wish hard enough they will end up in front of me???
They’re all so pretty. Fallen Angel & Mystic Elements are amazing!
I wish that these were available to us in Canada! I totally would love to get Kingdom of Shadows and Fallen Angel

There are about 3 colors from that collection that I would love to have! Thanks for providing where we can get the colors from as well, most bloggers don’t post where we are able to get the polishes from.
KT Makeup´s last post…I love you too much to let you go
I really like this collection, thanks for sharing!

Fallen Angel is my favourite. I don’t know something similar, but I think it’s possible to “build” the shade with other nail polishes… I will try!
